Hibernia in the character of Charity / W.D.

Hibernia, seated, holds on her lap Fox (left) and North, whom she is suckling (right). She says, "Bless the little Innocents!" Behind her (left) Britannia lies on the ground, her shield and spear beside her, Hibernia's foot resting on the shield which is inscribed 'Equal Participation'. At Hibernia's feet Burke kneels in profile to the right, holding a staff inscribed 'Faction'; he earnestly addresses a man who bears a resemblance to the Bishop of Derry and whose body is partly composed of an Irish harp inscribed 'Sedition'; he is in profile to the left, horns sprout from his forehead.
